The Denver Post reported the Jets were still in the bidding for Marshall, even after pursuing Jason Taylor, and were even willing to give up their first rounder (No. 29 overall) for the Beast. Contract terms could not be worked out, however, and the Dolphins got their man.

So the broncos were considering marshall's contract in negotiations for a trade? You would think that they would be looking for whatever is in the franchise's best interest.

I think they're talking about a contract with the new team..No team is going to fork over a couple of first day picks with out a contract extension in place

Denver really did not have a choice. If the Jets could not come to an agreement on Marshall in regards to a contract, trading for him would be useless. Because of the collective bargining agreement situation, instead of being an UFA, Marshall was a RFA. His contact still was up though.
